Why is the world full of needless suffering?
As the title suggests, why is the world like that? Is there any cosmic justification to what's happening around?
I have a very sad life right now and so do many others, perhaps many with far worse. I am aware of the quote, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" but still, things happen in this cosmic stage where suffering can come very unjustly.
My curiosity is that such unjust suffering does not help us in a way that we can logically understand right now. It just takes something from you, holds you back from being in a better state when you could have been allowed to progress into a higher purpose.

Nope...
Well.. sorta.
It's the nature of biological life. Living things avoid death. In doing so, they develop sense organs. Sense organs provide unpleasant feelings. Life must suffer, otherwise it would not be life.
If you're asking if there's some greater purpose for it, the answer is no. Horrible things happen to good people. And especially to animals. Purposes are things assigned by humans (or any other similar intelligence) We have no benefit from needless suffering, neither does anything else.

It's in the Bible. The suffering of the last days has been prophecied centuries ago: natural disasters, wars, persecution of Christians, and even specific things such as how a third of the creatures in the ocean would die (check out the multiple articles about sea creatures washing ashore) and even about a third of the ocean turning blood red (it happened all over the world!)
The end of the world (ie. the return of Jesus Christ) is near.
I urge you to repent of your sins while there is still time!
